A Sri Lankan pandemic
response perspective.
Covid-19 is a humanitarian and economic tragedy that
disrupted lives, livelihood and business operations. Good leadership is helping
companies stay resilient during this time of volatility and perhaps one silver
lining of the current situation, is that this crisis represents an opportunity
for leaders to create more innovation and collaboration in the face of
adversity.
Our Covid 19 Surveys with CEOs and CTOs suggest that
companies who planned ahead in the face of adversity during the critical stage
of managing, emerging and thriving have better performed during the pandemic
lock down.
• manage : the time
frame in which the company need to plan with limited resources
• emerge : the time frame where companies need to be
relevant more than ever to the customers
• thrive : where companies need to transform to leave the
competition behind and thrive in the market
Similar to the first mover advantage, companies have to move
fast and reach the third stage ahead of competition. This rate of movement is
impacted by two factors:
• the type of industry
• the type of leadership
Here leadership is no longer exclusive. Leadership can be
assigned as a part of the requirement of exclusive jobs of individuals, teams
or it can be part of the expectations that members of a role set have from
individual teams. At Breakthrough we identify 4 different segments of
leadership cultures in the Sri Lankan market as companies move from manage to
thrive. If you want to understand more about what defines these segments and
where you or your organization is at the moment drop us a mail on
